our story

Born in Melbourne, inspired by Indonesia — our brand was founded by two best friends with a shared love for all things fashion. Originally from Indonesia, we dreamed of creating the kind of bag we couldn’t find: something that blends bold, statement design with timeless, everyday wearability.

With deep roots in our heritage, it was important for us to showcase the incredible craftsmanship of Indonesian artisans. That’s why every one of our bags is carefully handmade in Bali, by skilled hands that understand the art of leatherwork.

We release our bags in small, mindful quantities — ensuring each piece is special, thoughtfully made, and never mass-produced.

This is fashion with heart — designed in Melbourne, handmade in Indonesia, and crafted to carry your story ♡

our Philosophy

Baie’s design language is inspired by clean architecture, natural forms, and the rhythm of everyday rituals. Each curve and detail is built for purpose and shaped by feeling.

Our goal is to create pieces that are meant to be worn, admired, and kept.

We use real leather and suede, sourced for longevity and touch. Every piece is handcrafted in limited quantities by skilled local artisans. Each bag is cut, stitched, and finished by hand with precision and patience.

We believe in honest materials, timeless forms, and thoughtful production that respects the maker.

FAQs

Who is Baie?

Baie is a quiet celebration of edge and intimacy — a growing community drawn to objects that speak, carry meaning, and stay close. Rooted in a love for leathercraft and the subcultures that shape us, Baie is for those who express boldly and belong deeply.

Where are your bags made?

Each Baie piece is mindfully made in limited quantities by skilled artisans in Indonesia. We produce in small batches to ensure quality and reduce waste — because what you carry should be considered, not mass-made.

What materials do you use?

Our bags are crafted using genuine leather for a soft, durable finish that ages beautifully. Select pieces feature suede leather, adding rich texture and dimension to the collection.

How do I care for my bag?

We recommend using a leather cream to keep your Nappa leather bags moisturised and supple over time. For suede bags, a suede protector spray can help guard against stains and moisture. Always store your bag in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or water.
